TubeNet

I guess this is kind of a For Sale ad, but more of a question right now...

I found a box of about 30 CD's here in my apartment, primarily classical CD's I've bought over the past 15 years in the pre-download years. It's all decent stuff (some very good and big name, but a few cheapo $1 CD's you used to get at BestBuy of some eastern European orchestra). It's all stuff that's either duplicates or things I have since replaced with recordings I prefer better. And frankly, I don't even have a working CD player right now, so they are useless to me.

Ideally, I'd like these to be in the hands of someone else who would listen to them and enjoy them. But I also can't get past the thought that it's pretty much not worth the time to catalog them for the purposes of selling them here for a few bucks (and taking to a used music store is a dead end too).

So, any other ideas?

Do people really even want to buy used CD's anymore?
Should it go back in the top of my closet?
Anyone want to buy a "grab bag" box of CD's? Lots of good stuff in there...!

You can drill a small hole through two edges and string 'em together with fishing line. They make great suncatchers!

There was a contest to decorate large fiberglass fish a few years ago here in Evansville. One guy used cd's all over his 'fish' to resemble scales.

Try Craigslist. I'm sure someone, somewhere in the NY area will take them.

I probably would, but I'd just rip them onto my iPod, and then they'd sit in *my* closet until I decided to pawn 'em off on TubeNet...

TMurphy, you're probably spot on... that's the problem alright!

Dan, if it was all junk, I'd be all for that. But I think most of it is stuff people would rather listen to. I figure eBay or my closet are the two best bets!

Hi Bort

I'd be interested in a heap of classical CD's

I'd buy them, for <$30. PM me if you're seeking a buyer.

My wife and I sorted through our CD collection about a month ago. We kept all our classical music CDs, and boxed up about 40 CDs of various artists that we hadn't listened to in about 10 yrs or more. Most of those were 'new-age' type stuff. I took the box to band rehearsal one night and told the band to help themselves. They all disappeared.

We kept the very first CD we ever got... "Simon & Garfunkel in Central Park" recorded around '80 or '81. My oldest son, who was about 10 or 12 (now 40), bought me that CD as a Father's Day gift — before I even owned a CD player! What a ploy to get me to buy a player.

Thanks everybody. These CDs are now spoken for.
